Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-hydroxy-6-carboxynaphthalene (2 g) and optically active 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-octyl alcohol (2.2 g) in ethylene chloride (50 ml) was added a few drops of conc. sulfuric acid, and the solution was refluxed under stirring for about two days. The solution obtained was poured in water in order to collect the organic layer. The layer was washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and water, in this order, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solution was distilled to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (developer : chloroform) to obtain the titled compound (1.2 g).
